List of glitches in Generation I
The Cut glitch is a glitch in Generations I and II that allows the player to get stuck on top of a cuttable tree. To perform the glitch, the player must have the Gym Badge allowing the use of Cut (the Cascade Badge in Kanto; the Hive Badge in Johto), and HM01 (Cut) taught to a member of the party.
Mechanics
If, upon cutting down the tree, the player saves the game while standing in the spot where the tree stood, and turns off the power, he or she will find their avatar standing on top of a tree when the game is reloaded. In some cases, the player may find that he or she is permanently stuck on the tree. The only remedy for this is that the game be restarted.
The glitch occurs because the games' primitive save systems could not store the data needed to remember that the tree had been cleared. Due to an overhaul in the way this data is stored starting with Generation III, this glitch has not been present in any later games.
